Problem Cause and remedy
Fault and a fault code not listed here ap-pears in the display.
A fault has occurred that you cannot resolve.
Call the Miele Customer Service Department.
If the door is opened while cook-ing with the Micro-wave function, the oven stops mak-ing noise.
This is not a fault. If the door is opened while cooking with the Microwave function, the door contact switch will switch off the microwave oven and switch the cooling fan to a lower speed.
A noise can be heard after a cooking pro-gramme.
The cooling fan remains switched on after a cooking programme (see “Settings – Cooling fan run-on”).
An abnormal sound can be heard when the microwave oven is operating.
A metal dish has been used during a cooking programme using microwave power.
Check if there are sparks caused by using metal dishes (see the requirements specified for crockery in the section on microwave operation).
The food was covered with aluminium foil during a programme with microwave power.
If necessary, remove the foil cover.
The rack was used during a programme with microwave power.
Always use the glass tray for programmes with microwave power.

Problem Cause and remedy
The browning is uneven.
The wrong temperature or shelf level was selected.
There will always be a slight unevenness in browning. If browning is very uneven, check whether the correct temperature and shelf level were selected.
The material or colour of the baking tin is not suitable for the function selected. Light-coloured, shiny or thin-walled tins are less suitable. These reflect the oven's heat, which means that the heat does not penetrate to the food effectively, resulting in uneven or poor browning.
Dark matt tins are best for baking.
The food is not sufficiently heated or is not cooked at the end of a set duration when us-ing the Micro-wave function.
Check whether the programme using microwave power has been interrupted and has not restarted.
Restart the cooking programme to ensure the food is heated or cooked properly.
When cooking or reheating with microwave power, the time set was too short.
Check that the correct duration is selected for the microwave power level. The lower the microwave power level the longer the cooking duration.
Food has cooled down too quickly after being re-heated or cooked using microwave power.
In the microwave oven, food begins to cook from the outside first, the inside of the food relying on the slower conduction of heat. If food is cooked at a high microwave power level, it is possible that the heat may not have reached the centre of the food, so it is hot on the outside but cold in the centre. During the standing time, the heat is transferred to the centre of the food.
When heating food with different densities, such as with menu cooking, it is sensible to start with a low microwave power level and select a longer reheating duration.
The oven interior lighting switches off after a short time.
You have selected the Lighting | “On” for 15 seconds setting.
If you want the oven interior lighting to be switched on during the entire cooking programme, select the Lighting |
